Finally got Linux Running

[Prisoner]

i finnaly got it to work. but i have a question. how do you mount the cd rom is it /mnt hda01? :confused: i'm extermely new to this and read the manual. thanx for your help

[Molecule Man]

Most distros will setup your /etc/fstab to mount your cdrom drive to either /mnt/cdrom or /cdrom. if not create your directory with say the command
mkdir /cdrom
then mount it (with a cd in the drive)
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom
That presumes your CDrom drive is the Secondary master, the most common setup. Change for your particular setup if necessary.

Also, if you're familiar with the fstab-editing process, you can use the entry for the floppy drive as a template for the cdrom drive. If what Shad suggested didn't work, try substituting "auto" for "iso9660"
good luck!
